Cutting back from IRC:

2018-07-31 08:52 BST < h01ger> Sledge: as asked on the bug, why include Debian-all?
2018-07-31 08:52 BST < Sledge> h01ger: it's where we start with other media sets
2018-07-31 08:53 BST < Sledge> it's the one that will include all the bits for all the desktops
2018-07-31 08:53 BST < h01ger> ic, not sure we really want that
2018-07-31 08:53 BST * h01ger just noted this diff:
2018-07-31 08:53 BST < h01ger> -#include <debian-installer+kernel>
2018-07-31 08:53 BST < h01ger> +#include <Debian-all>
2018-07-31 08:54 BST < Sledge> so what you had would have had *no* desktops on the media
2018-07-31 08:54 BST < Sledge> so we're working out what's wanted
2018-07-31 08:54 BST < Sledge> you're going to want one
2018-07-31 08:54 BST < Sledge> could just be xfce?
